Story Behind The Song

The song is about overcoming abuse of many forms such as bullying, and relationship abuse (verbal and physical). After many years of suffering from manipulation, the singer overcomes this part of her life and sets herself free. Allowing herself to be exactly who she is and not changing for anyone.

Song Description

Melotika's latest drop, the empowering "Joy Ride," sets her into a light hearted funky new territory. She tells us "The brand new single 'Joy Ride' is meant to be creative, strange and wild. It is an avant-garde composition blending the genres of pop rock and industrial music. Overall, the song is about conquering being an outsider and being different."

Lyrics

In my darkest hour, dreams and my muse collide

Where on earth is my savior now? And everyone else combined

Like a stone, off the wall, in my flesh sweet Divine

Feel another good vibration
Saying that I have no clue
Give into the sweet temptation
I saw the light in you

Shut up and Dance, you had your chance, I'm not your Joy Ride
Treacheries Pass, it doesn't last
Feels good to step aside

A thought had arrived from the seven seas
Dysfunction, corruption, makes me want to cry
I linger everyday in a mess
Thought control makes me want to scream

Shut up and Dance, you had your chance, I'm not your Joy Ride
Treacheries Pass, it doesn't last
Feels good to step aside
Shut up and Dance, you had your chance, I'm not your Joy Ride
Treacheries Pass, it doesn't last
Feels good to step aside

Feel another good vibration
Saying that I have no clue
Give into the sweet temptation
I saw the light in you

Shut up and Dance, you had your chance, I'm not your Joy Ride
Treacheries Pass, it doesn't last
Feels good to step aside
Shut up and Dance, you had your chance, I'm not your Joy Ride
Treacheries Pass, it doesn't last
Feels good to step aside
